This was introduced by commit 53b381b3abeb86f12787a6c40fee9b2f71edc23b
("Btrfs: RAID5 and RAID6"), which changed the divisor from
map->stripe_len (struct map_lookup.stripe_len is int) to a 64-bit
temporary.

Not using typeof, as there are way too many callsites where int is used
instead of u32.

However, checking that sizeof() equals to 4 seems to work.
Below is a patch for asm-generic, which is untested, but it works when
adding the same checks to arch/m68k/include/asm/div64.h

This is not something we just want to drop in, as it has the potential of
breaking lots of things (yes, it breaks btrfs :-)
